The global ambulatory EHR market is expected to reach USD 5.20 billion
by 2021 from USD 3.92 billion in 2016, at a CAGR of 5.8% in the next
five years (2016 to 2021). The ambulatory EHR market is undergoing a
significant transformation, with the changing landscapes of the HCIT
industry.

The key factors propelling the growth of the global ambulatory EHR
market are government support for the adoption of HCIT, growing usage of
EHR solutions, and the need to curtail healthcare costs. On the other
hand, heavy infrastructure investments and the high cost of deployment
are limiting the growth of the global ambulatory EHR market to a certain
extent.

In 2016, North America accounted for the largest share of the global
ambulatory EHR market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of
the World (RoW). Factors such as collaborations between stakeholders,
the need to curtail escalating healthcare costs in the U.S., digital
health measures, and continuous support in the form of grants in Canada
have contributed to the large share of North America in the ambulatory
EHR market. Asia-Pacific is projected to have the highest growth rate in
the forecast period. Factors such as Japan's favorable outlook for HCIT,
investments and reforms to modernize China's healthcare infrastructure,
digital healthcare scenario in India, and the implementation of e-Health
in Australia are likely to boost market growth in the region.
